In general, there are five types of microbes: 1  cellulolytic bacteria: digest fiber. 2  proteolytic bacteria: break down protein. 3  lactic acid-producing bacteria: digest starch. 4  protozoa: produce volatile fatty acids. 5  fungi/yeasts: break down fiber. 6  other bacteria: produce B-vitamins.he products of forage digestion are volatile fatty acids, which horses use for energy. Humans have some microbes that should stay in balance as well, although they pale in number and function compared to those of herbivores.
So, Dr Brown and her colleagues got to work analysing piles of panda faeces for the presence of RNA strands belonging to the microbes. The team then searched through microbial databases to identify the genre that these microbes belonged to and determine which known species they were most closely related to.eprints. Given their diet, Dr Brown knew that giant pandas had to have legions of microbes in their gut that were strong enough to break cellulose and lignin down. If it was possible to identify those microbes and find the enzymes within them they might be used to improve biofuel production.
